"Even when I was young, I was driven to be with people and do something for my area. I want to be able to do so that someone else will get it as good as I've had it."

He added: "I've had very successful teams on the large. Big clubs have driven us to be more imaginative. This is football we're doing. At a young age, it should not matter what Club you belong to."
